Thousands of years ago, the humans that inhabited the planet earth had discovered the potential of interstellar travel and began their voyage across space. On their travels, they discovered a red planet that was similar to earth. Only the technology there was way more advanced. This planet was known as Irk. At least that's what the life forms on Irk said. These beings were short, hairless, had green skin, large eyes that were either red or purple, and black antennas instead of ears. After some time Irk and earth started to come to multiple disagreements and soon led to the point of war. After the war was declared, the Irkens had discovered something. An ancient artifact buried within the ground over the years. Soon after it's discovery, it begun to release powerful energy, but at a price. It started to spread across Irk. Changing the Irkens both through body and mind.

They felt their bodies begin to change and mutate into something more. They had grown taller, stronger, and more powerful than before. But instead of becoming concerned, they enjoyed it. This feeling of unlimited power within them. After discovering this artifact, the Irkens studied it and found it to be an ancient relic filled with magic and energy. This relic was buried for centuries and was never revealed or identified. They didn't understand why it happened, but found that once it was uncovered, that was when it unleashed its power across Irk. Making the Irkens different in this form. Making them no longer mortals, but demons.

Soon after getting a handle on this new magic, the Irkens merged it with their technology and became even more advanced than before. With their demonic power, they started to claim victory of the war and push back the humans. After so many years of fighting and countless losses, the humans believed that it was over for them. Until they made a discovery of there own of a weapon containing holy magic. Seeing it's power, they converged it with their technology, giving them somewhat of an edge in the battle field. For decades this galactic war was at a stand still. Both sides were finding more and more artifacts and weapons of both holy and demonic heritage. The Irkens became desperate, thus engaged the creation of the control brains. Years later, the project was finished. At this time the control brains had begun to select the tallest, or the rulers of Irk. Greatest out of all of them though was a red eyed male named Spork and a purple eyed female named Miyuki.

The Demonic Irkens began to seize many victories due to Sporks and Miyukis advanced planning and brutal attack patterns. Though it was shortly taken away after the their deaths in the act of combat. The war came back to a standstill but everything started to change. The artifact and weapons that were collected over the millennia had suddenly disappeared. For both sides. The gods above had planned that it would bring peace upon the two, but it only pushed it forward. They were then placed in large containment units spread across the universe. The gods then demanded that only the champion will bring peace across the universe. The control brains then selected two new tallest going by the names of Red and Purple. How ever they started to throw out Irkens left and right. Claiming them to be defectives and are not worthy to be soldiers. The humans began to push forward which lead to multiple losses for the Irken empire. Everything was destined to be lost. That was...

Until now...

"My tallest, the humans are coming closer with every victory. We're loosing everything!" One of soldier said.

"Do you think I don't see that. They think we'll be easily defeated but we won't. We are the Irken empire!" Red said. Soon after, there was a large explosion at the doors to the main hall. The room filled with smoke, which caused some of the guards to become unconscious. More soldiers came forward but were taken out by magic bullets before they could react. As the shooting stopped, a figured began to appear out of the smoke. It was a red eyed Irken with black hair. He was also wearing royal armor, unscathed I might add. Red and Purple stared him down with anger building up.

"What is your business for attacking us?!" Purple shouted. The figure then closed his eyes and shook his head while giving a small chuckle.

"Well... if you really must know, I'm here to take back what is rightfully mine. But seeing as how you're too dense to understand that, I'll just tell you plainly. I. Want. My. Throne." He said with a growl at the end.

"You challenge us for leadership? Who are you to make demands!" Red said.

"I did think you would recognize me. Seeing as how you left me to die at food courtia!" The Irken said stepping forward. Red and Purple didn't understand what he meant until they remembered.

"Z-Zim?" Red stuttered. Zim then smiled and stared at them.

"Glad you finally remembered. But I hope you're not forgetting about anyone else?" Three more figures started to appear out of the smoke. All three of them were Irken but two were red eyed and the other had purple eyes. The one of the red eyed Irkens was a male and the other was a female. The purple one was also a female.

"T-Tak, Skooge, Tenn." Red said.

"Whatever he's offering you, we can double it!" Purple said.

"Oh I don't think you can bargain with them. You see, how do the humans say it. I gave them an opportunity of a lifetime. If they helped me reclaim what is mine, I would make them generals in my army." Zim explained. A female soldier then came running with a spear in her hands.

"Kree, deal with these traitors and finish them off!" Purple ordered. Kree looked Zim and prepared herself for a fight as she gripped the spear with both hands. She began to slowly move over, putting herself between Zim and the tallest. It was complete silenc, Zim took a few steps and stared at his opponent as Kree stared back. He then gave a small and gentle nod to her. She then closed her eyes and breathed in and out. Kree then quickly turned and threw her weapon, hitting Purple in the leg as he was pinned to the wall. Red stared in horror.

"Kree! You betray us?!" Red shouted.

"I swore to keep a promise that I made several years ago. I will keep that promise till the end of my time." She said. Red was furious. His hands started to fill with energy and hit Kree with a ball of fire. Causing severe damage.

"Kree no!!!" Zim shouted as he ran up to her. Skooge, Tak, and Tenn tackled red and began to collide his face with their fist and kicks. Zim held Kree as he saw her wound. If it wasn't treated immediately, then she would surely die. "Medibots!!" He called. Two small drowns quickly flew towards him.

"Take her to sickbay and immediately treat her wounds." He commanded. The bots grabbed and flew off with her. He then turned to Red and stared at him with disgust. "GAURDS!" Four of the soldiers that were on the ground quickly stood at attention.

"Take these two basterds away and make sure they suffer." He said in a monsteras tone. They saluted and grabbed Red and Purple. As they left, the rest of the Irkens that were down stood and resumed their positions. Zim looked down and bawled up his fist, hating himself that he let Kree get injured.

"Zim." Someone said grabbing his shoulder. He looked to see Tak behind him. "She's strong, she'll make it." She said. Zim nodded and began heading to a door with the others following him. After walking down several halls and multiple Irkens bowing or saluting him, he finally made it to his destination and opened the doors.

"Control brains!" He called. They became active and analyzed the voice to be Zim. "You know why I'm here. Give me what has been wrongfully denied from me for all these years." He commanded. There was silence as the control brains processed his demand.

"Yes sire." It finally responded. Robotic tentacles appeared and lifted Zim by his arms. They then plugged into his pak, changing his social status as an Irken and a demon. They set him down and a small metallic box appeared in front of him as a magical seal was lifted off of it.

"Irken demon Zim. By accepting this talisman, the last artifact of Irk. You are accepting your new social status. Do you wish to proceed?" It asked.

"Yes." Zim said.

"I give you... the blood stone of Irk." It said as Zim opened the small box to see it. A glowing blood red ruby crystal attached to a black metal chain. He then grabbed it and his armor created an open area for both the chain and the gem itself to sit in. He placed it on and moved it around. The armor closed around the chain and placed the crystal in the open area and sealed it in the armor. Zim then felt a strong serge of power flow through his body. Red and black markings started to appear around his body as they welded to his skin. Zim then exhaled as he felt it begin to smoothly flow through him. A mirror appeared and showed his reflection. His armor had changed and he saw to red lines at the corner of his mouth going down his chin and down his neck, making it look as if there was blood coming out of his mouth if you saw from a distance. This new power also gave him a more muscular form. He smiled and chuckled a little.

"All hail, Tallest Zim. The demon king, and ruler of the Irken empire." The control brains said as they placed a golden crown with a red gem on his head. It went more around his head rather than on top. Tak, Tenn, and Skooge all bowed to the new ruler of Irk. They stood and Zim looked to see his new generals ready to follow him into combat.

"Control brains, I also want you to make Skooge, Tak, Tenn lead generals of the Irken empire." Zim said.

"Yes, my tallest." It said. The control brains then grabbed Skooge and plugged into his pak. Zim walked out and headed for the medical ward. When got there, the lead doctor Zorch saluted Zim.

"How is she?" Zim asked. Zorch then looked over at Kree who was sleeping on the bed.

"We were lucky that she got here in time. Otherwise we would have been able to revive her and she wouldn't be able to heal." He explained. Zim then nodded understanding. "She is able to speak though. You may talk to her if you'd like." Zorch said.

"Thank you." Zim said. He then walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. "Kree, can you hear me?" He asked softly. He saw her face scrunch up and slowly open her eyes. Everything was bright at first but her vision adjusted and saw Zim next to the bed.

"Zim, What are you doing here. You should be somewhere more important than visiting someone in the medical war." She said.

"Then you must forgotten about that promise you made." Zim said. She then smiled and began to slowly sit up, exposing the bandages wrapped around her from her abdomen to above her breast. "You shouldn't. You need to rest." He said.

"I'm fine. I've been through worse." She said placing a hand on her side. She then looked at Zim, finally noticing the changes made to his body and the blood stone, along with the crown. "You actually did. You got it back." She said with a smile.

"We did it." Zim stated. "We wouldn't have gotten it back without you." He said. Kree smiled more but slowly turned it into a frown.

"Are the others becoming generals?" She asked.

"They should be done by now." Zim responded. Kree then stay silent for half a minute to think.

"I want you to make me a general." She said.

"No. I'm not letting you get injured again. I don't want you to die." He said.

"And I cannot let you die Zim. You said it yourself. I made a promise, and I'm going to keep it." She demand. Zim stayed silent and looked down. He began to weigh his options and finally closed his eyes in defeat after a minute.

"Alright." He said. Kree then smiled. "But I'm not doing it until you're properly healed, understand." Zim demanded.

"Yes my tallest." She said playfully. Zim then rolled his eyes and shook his head. Kree then pulled him closer and placed her forehead against his as they both closed their eyes. "You're still a spoiled little child." She said.

"Says you." Zim fired.

sometime later in a different part of space*

A ship flew through space, progressing in its voyage. Inside the ship, there were multiple of the best soldiers, operators, mechanics and doctors. It was the human flag ship, known as the arc. In command of the arc and the human forces against Irk was their lead scientists Professor Membrane. As he stared into space, someone came up to the professor. He actually looked like him. The only difference was their hight.

"Hey dad. What's up?" The person asked. The professor turned around to look at him.

"Hello Dib. I just wanted to see how my son was." He said.

"Oh, well I'm doing fine thanks." Dib said. They both stared into space in silence.

"It's beautiful. Almost as beautiful as your mother." He said. Dib felt a ping of sadness in his heart. His mother had died after she had given birth to his sister.

"I miss her too dad." He said. The professor then looked at his son and placed his arm around his son. Dib smiled at this and felt better.

"Professor!" Someone called. They both turned to see a soldier running towards them with a tablet in his hand. "Professor we're getting a live feed from an unknown source. It's being broadcasted all over the universe!" He explained. The live feed was then on every screen in the ship. It showed someone sitting in a throne, wearing royal Irken demon armor and a mask over his face. There was a red crystal in the chest plate and a crown on his head.

"To all... life forms of the universe." It said with an altered voice. "You think. That the humans are your saviors. That they're your light in the darkness. You're... heroes." He then leaned forward in his throne. "But what you don't see is that they are the cause of this. They created the darkness in order to be the light. They are nothing more than a plague. Where as for us... we are the cure. We are the truth, to their lie. We... are the ones created to purify this devastation." He explained. The Irken then stood and stepped forward as four other masked Irkens appeared. "Many of you are wondering who I am. So I will gladly tell you. I... am Zim. The demon king... and ruler, of the Irken empire." He explained. Everyone started in horror as they saw this. This... demon king.

"And as for you... Professor membrane." He said pointing at the camera. "I... am coming for you." The transmission then cut with an invader symbol at the end. Everyone looked around and began to speak to one another. Dib looked at his father as he was trembling.

"Dad. W-what do we do?" He asked
